HEALTH PROBLEMS
She was born with hip dysplasia, a congenital or developmental deformation or misalignment of the hip joint. She was unable to walk because one leg was longer than the other but her family were unable to afford surgery so she underwent physiotherapy instead. After two years of physiotherapy, she took her first steps but was told by the doctors that she would not be able to do any sporting activities. (rio2016.com, 12 Jul 2016)
